The Colonizing Plan and a Vast Settler Scheme
An 8. J. Klein of Salt Lake promotes bringing 2500 to 4000 families to settle a state, arguing new settlers would be industrious and that land grabbing harms or delays progress. The plan involves large canal water rights and a water tax to fund earlier canal construction, with debate over legal tender and broader western state finance. The piece blends editorial critique on taxation, banking, and press power with calls for policy action and public discourse.
